I finished a new set of six owlets for the fair on Thursday. I made them all at the same time – assembly line-style. I usually don’t like to work this way because I find I lose interest in the project before I finish sewing the last few creatures, but it worked well for these…
Bumpkies and Back Tack
We spent the weekend visiting my in-laws in New London. Here is Roxy at the pumpkin patch picking out her “bumpky.” I love this time of year. We had a noreaster here yesterday, but today looks like such a pretty, sunny fall day. My back tack tote is finally done. It is denim on the…
A temporary hut
I couldn’t resist this fuzzy purple fur marked down 50% at Joann’s. The owl fabric came from a swap months ago with Katey at One Good Bumblebee. Here is a view from above of our weekend project – our first sukkah is now standing! After much cursing, some help from a friend, and a new…
Rain
It has been raining in Boston endlessly. Seriously, I think it has rained here every day for at least two weeks. I love listening to the sound of the rain, especially when I’m napping and when I’m sewing. It was lovely to listen while I put the eyes on this little bear. She also has…
Treating myself
I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me a comment or an email in the last few days. I’m terribly behind with everything and I haven’t responded to anyone, but I was really touched and cheered up by all the nice words. Things are slowly moving toward normal around here. I went…
I’m Back
With much happiness and relief I am finally ready to say that I’m feeling better! Thank you to everyone who sent such nice comments on my last post and who checked in on me via email during this difficult month. I have been laying on the couch feeling so exhausted and so nauseous that it…
Taking a break
I have not been feeling too well lately. I know I’ll feel better in a few weeks, but for now I haven’t been able to tackle many projects or do much blogging. I’m going to need to take a little crafting/blogging break for a while. I will hopefully post from time to time and I…
Mail and a new bear in the works
I received this lovely little package from Fiona. We did a little swap for her lion pin cushion and she sent along some adorable printed fabric and woven cherry ribbon and…real wool blanketing! It is so thick and soft I couldn’t believe it. Her cats made from this material must be really sturdy and so…
White Fuzzy Bear #2
I made this fuzzy bear as a special order for a colleague of Charlie’s. I think she bought it as a baby shower gift. She looked at my photo album and picked this one and I made another just like it. It was sort of weird to replicate a bear I’ve made in the past….
Needle Case
Because I didn’t participate in back-tack the first time around (I didn’t have a blog yet), I don’t have much in the way of creative notions holders. I was sorely lacking a needle case, especially since a few weeks ago I moved all my sewing supplies into the new sewing box that Charlie got me…
